The slope and the y-intercept of the function are: A. Slope = -2/5; y-intercept = -1/3.

Slope (m) = change in y / change in x.

Using two pairs of points form the table value, (1/4, -13/30) and (2/3, -3/5)"

Slope (m) = (-13/30 - (-3/5))/(1/4 - 2/3)

Slope (m) = (-13/30 + 3/5))/(1/4 - 2/3)

Slope (m) = (1/6)/(-5/12)

Slope (m) = (1/6)(12/-5) = 12/-30

Slope (m) = -2/5

Plug in m = -2/5 and (x, y) = (2/3, -3/5) into y = mx + b to find the y-intercept (b).

-3/5 = -2/5(2/3) + b

-3/5 = -4/15 + b

-3/5 + 4/15 = b

-1/3 = b

b = -1/3
